H.C. Question 53 – The Holy Spirit – Sermon Outline Intro: The Holy Spirit is often de-personalized, that is, not thought of as the 3rd person of the Trinity. Need: The Holy Spirit is God, not merely a force or power, and without God the Holy Spirit, not only would God not be God, but man would not be man, in either Creation or Redemption, nor empowered to truly worship God in Spirit and Truth, nor serve Christ and seek first His kingdom and its righteousness. Theme: The Holy Spirit is God, unites us to Christ, and works holiness within us.
1. The Holy Spirit is God. 2. The Holy Spirit works within us, uniting us to Christ and all His saving benefits. 3. The Holy Spirit testifies within us as our constant comfort/advocate. |
